While I might not be able bodied enough to tattoo any more, I kept my Kev Shercliff tattoo machines (fish tail liner machine, and industrial shader machine) as keep sakes for my time learning and working in the industry. They were way over due some final TLC, so I took my time to dismantle and clean them as best I could, before putting them back together and putting them in new boxes that I made for them.

I got a pair of simple 16cm square boxes, with antique brass hinges and latch. Wood burned the script on top by hand, then stained them with old oak and finished with a bit of wax varnish. Lastly lined them with 1 inch thick foam and red velvet for that old school luxury vibe.
